"The series came about when John Smith asked Stuart Moore for his ideas about a possible reboot of Doctor Fate for DC's Vertigo imprint and giving the imprint its own interpretation of DC's Golden Age history and characters. Smith's proposal was deemed 'too extreme' for an established character and was asked to rework the concept into an original creation, which became Scarab. Scarab was subsequently cut down from an ongoing series to a limited series, with pencils by Scot Eaton and inks by Mike Barreiro, which ran for eight issues in 1993 and 1994.", 
"Two Indigo Prime agents, Dazzler and Creed, appeared in Scarab #7 & 8 as a way to end the series due to the problems that Smith had encountered with writing it. Smith explained that 'by that time I was probably just so sick of the thing I thought — 'Fuck it. I'll rip off my own story' — and stuck in Indigo Prime as a lazy way out.'.", 
"In JSA Secret Files #1, the book that began the new JSA series in 1999, James Robinson and David S. Goyer referred to Sendak. Wesley Dodds asked the Gray Man to contact the old man for help finding the baby who would become the new Doctor Fate. In issue #1 of JSA, Louis appeared in uniform at the funeral of Wesley Dodds and later told the JSA members some of his history, including that he 'dropped out of sight after '44'. The character then appeared in JSA #16 and 18, in a storyline written by Goyer and Geoff Johns.",
